Yesterday and today have been an absolute jackpot, multiple species flights, I’ve collected 6 queens so far.

There have been enough queens out and about that all my captures have been from me sitting in one spot and looking for movement. Really great ant hunting conditions.
2 founding formica subsericea
1 aphaenogaster rudis
1 brachymyrmex depilis
More still founding!
